I'm not a big fan of stews, but this one was really good. The chicken was tender and juicy, the asparagus was cooked perfectly, and the broth was rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken and asparagus cook quickly in the broth, and the flavors are delicious. I like to serve it with a side of rice or pasta.

This stew is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The chicken and asparagus are cooked to perfection, and the broth is rich and flavorful. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

I made this stew last night and it was a hit! The chicken was so tender and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. The broth was also very flavorful. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal for a cold night.

This stew was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the asparagus was mushy. The broth was also very bland.

Not impressed. The stew was watery and the chicken was flavorless. I won't be making this again.

I love how easy this stew is to make. I can just throw all the ingredients in my slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work. It's also really versatile - I've added different vegetables, herbs, and spices, and it's alway

This is one of my favorite spring recipes. The combination of chicken and asparagus is always a winner, and the addition of fresh herbs and lemon really brightens up the dish. I like to serve it with a side of roasted potatoes or rice.

I thought this stew was just okay. The chicken was a bit tough and the asparagus was overcooked. The broth was also a bit too salty for my taste.

Meh. The stew was bland and the chicken was dry. I wouldn't recommend it.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's quick and easy to make, and the results are delicious. I added a few extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, and it turned out even better. Definitely a keeper!
